Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 157 No matter

There was a "pop" sound.

Liu Musheng was subjected to another major confrontation.

He rubbed the back of his head, wincing in pain.

"You shrew, I'm sitting this far away, how can you still hit me!"

"You dare to insult Yue Niang? No matter where you are, I'll fight you even if you're sitting across from me!" Huang Wanwan wiped her hands clean with a handkerchief. This little incident stopped Lin Mengyu's tears.

“Actually, what Yue Niang said is right. Why should I accept this fate? Besides, I am getting married, not selling myself. Moreover, it is a marriage bestowed by the Empress. If they have the guts, they can go to the palace to ask for the annulment of the engagement.”

“That’s the right way to think. You’re beautiful, kind, and rich, so why bother with that kind of grievance?” Liu Yuechu winked at her, and Lin Mengyu chuckled. “Right, rich and with a straight back.”

She had hidden some private money with Liu Yuechu, and no one knew how much she had already earned.

Huang Wanwan sensed something fishy about the two of them. "What do you mean? Did you start a small business? Count me in, I have some savings too, but not much!"

"With your personality, you're not worried about being bullied after marriage, so you don't need to save up your personal savings, right?" Liu Yuechu hadn't known Huang Wanwan for very long. How could this girl just casually take out her personal savings? Wasn't she afraid of being embezzled?

"What kind of marriage doesn't involve being bullied?" Huang Wanwan couldn't help but purse her lips. "The wedding night is all about romance, but after a while, it all becomes a facade. Besides, no matter how strong-willed you are, it's not as good as having your family backing you up, and even then, it's not as satisfying as having money to back you up."

"Then why don't I just get the money directly? It'll save me the trouble of dealing with those unreliable brothers and sisters at home." Huang Wanwan had calculated everything very clearly.

"You want to start a business? Fine, I agree to let you invest, but on the condition that you don't hit me again." Liu Musheng rubbed the back of his head, which still hurt.

“I have nothing to do with you, I only listen to Yuechu.” Huang Wanwan recalled the teahouse where she had tea with Lin Mengyu yesterday. “That location is quite good. Jingchunlou doesn’t sell them, so it would be nice for us to set up a teahouse to rest.”

"Then why not renovate the bookstore and turn it into a teahouse?"

"Is the bookstore a bit small?"

“It’s not small. The courtyard behind the bookstore is also my family’s. We just need to tear down the wall.”

"Liu Yuechu, how much wealth do you actually have? It's a pity I'm not a man, otherwise I would have killed Yuan Cuo and married you!"

……

The three women chattered away, leaving Liu Musheng hanging. But he stubbornly stayed, determined to get a free meal.

The food from Guichunlou was quickly delivered, and it was delicious and visually appealing.

But before Lin Mengyu could even take a couple of bites, Lin Mengjun, who was about to pour cold water on his enthusiasm, came over.

He didn't dare come in person, so he went to see Yuan Cuo and asked him to accompany him to Yuanchu Pavilion.

“You ran away crying without a word, and your mother was very worried. When she found out that you came to find Yue Niang, she asked me to take you back.”

Lin Mengjun's face looked very uncomfortable.

Because Mrs. Lin said many unpleasant things.

She even blamed Liu Yuechu for her sister being disliked by her aunt's family. She believed that Lin Mengyu was so audacious and ignorant of the proper boundaries between men and women because she was close to Liu Yuechu.

But Lin Mengjun could only swallow these words; he would never say them, no matter what.

But he was a simple person, and even though he didn't say these words out loud, Liu Yuechu could tell.

Moreover, not only her, but Yuan Cuo and Huang Wanwan also saw it clearly, only Liu Musheng truly did not know.

"Since you're already here, why don't you finish your meal before you leave? Guiyuelou specially delivered this." He extended a very warm invitation.

Lin Mengjun didn't even dare to sit down, afraid that Liu Yuechu would scold him. "My aunt's family is also waiting. I'll come and chat with Brother Liu another day."

Lin Mengyu also sensed that something was wrong, so he had no choice but to get up.

Seeing that she didn't look well, Liu Yuechu asked, "Do you want me to go back with you?"

"Forget it, I'll stay with her." Huang Wanwan also lost her appetite.

The meal was over just like that.

Lin Mengjun bowed deeply with apologies, wishing he could kowtow to Liu Yuechu before leaving.

Yuan Cuo gestured for his brother and sister to eat first, saying, "I'll go see them off."

Liu Yuechu was reluctant, but she still cared about it.

She sat down angrily and looked at Liu Musheng, who had already sat down and was eating meat in big bites.

"Eat, eat, and eat!"

"Nonsense, it costs over thirty taels a table!" Liu Musheng stuffed a mouthful of sea cucumber into his mouth.

Liu Yuechu hissed, "Do you know Zhang Zhitong?" Zhang Zhitong is the man Lin Mengyu is going to marry.

"I know him. He always has his chin held high, acting all high and mighty. His father is just a high-ranking official in the Court of Imperial Sacrifices. His family isn't very wealthy. It's just that his mother comes from a better background. He got a position in the Ministry of Personnel thanks to his maternal grandparents' help."

Liu Musheng didn't understand these things before, but now he spends all his time with Pei Chun and other playboys, and he's heard so many stories about them that his ears are practically calloused.

Liu Yuechu was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to know so much.

"You guys get together and talk about these things?" She thought it was all about eating, drinking, gambling, and womanizing.

Liu Musheng swallowed the braised pork in his mouth, quite dissatisfied. "We also have serious business to attend to, okay? How can we invite people to join us if we don't know about each other's big and small affairs? Besides, in this capital, everyone is related by blood, and no matter how you count them, you can always find a connection. We may not know anything else, but we know more and more of each other's dirty secrets."

"Does this Zhang Zhitong have any scandals?" Liu Yuechu suddenly felt that her eldest brother, despite his playboy lifestyle, was actually somewhat useful.

Liu Musheng noticed her sly look and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm thinking of Yu-jie'er. I'm afraid she'll marry some unreliable person. What if he's a hypocrite? Wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?" Of course, Liu Yuechu couldn't directly tell Lu Bingyang to interfere.

She had actually forgotten to ask just now whether Lin Mengyu liked this cousin or not.

Don't actually cause trouble and then hate her.

She had learned a lesson from Li Shu and Wei Gongming's experience. Whether Zhang Zhitong, though unreliable in his past life, had truly reformed in this one, she really didn't know.

Liu Musheng pondered for a long time, "Whether she suffers a loss or not has nothing to do with me?"

"..." Liu Yuechu gritted her teeth, "She's my best friend, isn't she practically your sister too? What if your sister marries a bad man? Can you, as her brother, just ignore it?"

"What's wrong with my sister? You didn't consult me ​​when you got married. She's a sister from another family, how dare I make decisions for her?!" Liu Musheng said matter-of-factly.

Liu Yuechu really wanted to flip the table, but it seemed there was no real reason for her to get angry.

Are we just going to let Lin Mengyu be bullied like this?

She was still worried and insisted on finding out the truth from someone.

She had just instructed someone to fetch Fang Suozi's wife when Yuan Cuo returned from outside.

"With that sly, radiant smile from my wife, who's going to be in trouble?"
